These are about as good, and you just warm them up. If you want to do from dry beans, buy about a 2lb, or 1 if it's just you, of dry mixed beans. Soak them overnight in a bowl of water in the fridge.all night. Put in a crockpot full of water, and you'll have to keep an occasional eye on the water level. You want them to stay covered in water, and put some fatback in it. You can buy chunks of fatback in a pack at Walmart, or any grocery store

Since there's already pork in the canned beans - well, "seasoned with pork" - I'd prolly go with a smoked ham hock and some chopped ham instead of the fatback.

But I'll allow the fatback. 😉

Those canned ones are honestly pretty good, especially if you don't have time for the crockpot.

You know, I'll sometimes use the Instant Pot (pressure cooker), but 98% of the time, I just cook this sort of meal on the rangetop (or in the oven.) I hardly ever use the crockpot any more. I'm not always crazy about the texture of the meat - it often seems really mushy.

But I did use the crockpot to transport the smoked sausage and beans to church this evening! Cooked them on the stovetop, somehow managed to find the crockpot liners (haven't been used in 3+ years - "If I were a crockpot liner, where would I be?") - lined the crockpot with the liner and poured the cooked sausage and beans (and potatoes and carrots and celery and onions and tomato passata and bay leaves and thyme and parsley and Italian seasoning) into the liner, tied it up with a bread twist, rassled it out to the car, and then into the church.

Plugged the crockpot into the power strip, and boom, hot sausage and beans (and etc.) in a plastic bag in a crockpot, brought home what was left in the bag and put it in a Snaplock, and all that was left was a clean crockpot.

Sometimes life in this post-technology world is pretty good.

Tiffany has fussed at me for not using the liners the past few times I've used it. I tell her they're not there, she keeps swearing they are, but she can't find them either 🤣

mikey, what do you do for a living? I somehow got the idea that you're retired, but I see that you aren't.

Auditing graveyard sounds pretty awful!

Casino like Hoosier - internal audit been there for 31 years -- few more years to go to retire -- he is going to love it once it opens

Happens to me. I worked 15 hours Thursday night, had about a 45 minute nap yesterday before we had to go to the Dr. It still took me forever last night to fall asleep, and I woke up several times last night. I gotta stay up tonight until 2, because little bit is at an away swim meet, and won't be home until 2 am. I may end up going to work for a few hours, so I don't fall asleep.
